The Strip

The 4.2-mile Strip (a section of S Las Vegas Blvd) is what happens when you take the ideals of freedom and abundance to their extremes. It's Vegas' entertainment central, the epicenter in a vortex of limitless potential, where almost anything goes and time becomes elastic.

The Sights in a Day

MTake in the famous Fountains of Bellagio show, then step inside the resort to admire Dale Chihuly’s glass sculpture and the lavish landscaping inside the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens. Stop for coffee and chocolates at Jean Philippe Patisserie. Diehard Francophiles should detour south to ascend the Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas.

RHead north toward Caesars Palace and to see the opulent Greco-Roman–inspired casino. Walk through the Forum Shops, stopping for a spiked lemonade outside at the Spanish Steps. Watch the exploding volcano outside the Mirage, then cross the Strip to see the floating gondolas outside the palatial Venetian. Cap a shopping spree at the Grand Canal Shoppes with an early Latin-Japanese dinner at Sushisamba at sister property Palazzo.

NReturn to the Mirage to catch Cirque du Soleil’s show Beatles LOVE. Grab alfresco drinks at Rhumbar, or take a cab down to Mandalay Bay and ride the elevator to elegant Skyfall Lounge atop the Delano for unparalleled views of the glittering southern Strip.
